CEMENT DRAINAGE-SPOUT FOR BUILDINGS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 24C, 1911.

Application filed October 30, 1907. Serial No. 399,887.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, Boi-IUMIL R. MUDRA, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cement Drainage- Spoutsfor Buildings, of which the following is a specication.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction of drainagespouts with a view to enhancing the appearance thereof and providing acement spout which is stronger and more satisfactory than thoseheretofore used.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewillustrating the application of my improved down-spout to a building.Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view through the spout taken on theplane of dotted line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a vertical section throughthe down-spout on dotted line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4L is a verticalsection through a gutter and a down-spout operatively connectedtogether.

In Fig. 1 I have shown a down-spout embodying my invention in use upon abrick building, the upper end of the spout being connected with one endof a gutter A of any preferred construction. The downspout comprises aplurality of superimposed sections 9, each section in this instance,having a flat rear face 10 adapted to lie in contact with the face ofthe wall. Suitable means is provided upon each down-spout section forsecuring it to the wall, said means comprising two blocks 11 formedintegral with each section, and of suitable dimensions to be itted intoopenings 12 in the wall, or to be originally built into the wall, asdesired. The-sections of the downspout may be secured together andWater- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, byaddressing the tight joints provided between them by forming an annulartapering flange 13 upon one end of each section adapted to enter aflaring or tapering opening 14 in the opposite end of the adjacentsection. The joint between the down-spout sections 9 may be madewater-tight by means of cement inortar placed between said sections. Thedownspout sections are reinforced by two rods 15 embedded in eachsection, said rods being substantially of the same length as the sectionand projecting from one end of the section to form dowel pins. In theopposite end of the section are openings 1G to receive said pins. Thegutter and down-spout may be connected in any preferred way, as by astub pipe 17 molded integral with the gutter A, the down-spout beingattached to said stub pipe.

The term cement is used herein to include any equivalent material.

I claim as my invention:

A sectional cement down-spout for gutter pipes comprising a plurality ofsuperimposed sections, two blocks formed integral with each sectionadjacent its ends, said blocks being adapted to be built into the wallof a building and form a part thereof, one end of one sectionhavingalaring socket therein, the adjacent end of the next sectionhaving a tapering flange fitting in said socket, and reinforcing rodsextending through each section, said rods projecting from one end of thesection to form dowel pins, the adjacent end of the next section havingvopenings therein into which said dowel pins extend.
